Mainstream media desperately digging to create a chasm where nobody sees even a crevice.

Today on Sri Ramanavami, happy to share that I completed the last Sarga in Yuddhakanda. 19,937 verses, 534 sargas across 6 kandas, a 4-year project.  Ghanapati Sanskrit recitation put together with English reading from Gita press: original texts & genuine narration made easily available for young people worldwide🙏🏽🙏🏽 open.spotify.com/episode/5wdOvu…

@lucid_madhu No the original sanskrit is a recitation by qualified ghanapatis

@hinduparenting Congratulations. Have you chanted all the verses?

Grateful to @haripriyakidamb -Without her ideas and inspiration, this project wouldn’t have started at all.

We had a great session with 25 spellbound children listening & participating in discussions on boundaries in friendship - an essential skill for Hindu children. If you’d like your child to be part of classes you won’t find anywhere else, register with Hindu Parenting today!

Last day to register for Panchatantra session for children. Session starts on Sunday March 22, 10 am IST We will have a game followed by stories and interactive discussions on friendship. Please share with friends and families with young kids.

@halleyji Even those born in the 30s and 40s prefer to live by themselves until they become too old to manage. Everyone wants privacy, not just the younger generation.

Everyone wants to be independent. What we don't acknowledge often is that modernity keeda has bitten even the previous generation i.e. the kind of parents in question below. Those born in 50s 60s etc. Everyone thinks like a sovereign individual. No one wants to compromise and adjust. As people often assume it is not just the younger generations that want be left alone. Even older generations are like this. Plus many are financially independent, settled and secure in their own way. Then our Matt Walsh gaaru posts that multiple generations need to live under one roof etc 😂

Workshop for kids Sunday March 22 10 am IST One of the most important skills for kids is choosing the right friends. In this workshop, they will learn the importance of good friendship & how to make friends - through the stories of the Panchatantra. Link to register in reply.

Hindu right needs to develop empathy, tribalism, intelligence Woman comes back with 4 children; she’s facing questions from reporters with grace, dignity, courage; her life in danger And we can’t resist (wink, nudge, point fingers) “Hindu women never learn, do they?” Let’s not “other” our own people. It takes unimaginable courage to walk out. Hindu samaj should form a protective circle around its vulnerable people - the trapped, the sick, the poor, the dejected ones. Both men and women. Stop seeing losses in wins. The frustration on the Hindu side is understandable to an extent, but remember the way you treat these courageous victims who speak up today…will determine how many find the hope and courage to come back tomorrow. These high-profile returns could turn into a flood or could trickle out, and much of the outcome depends on how we as a society handle it. A heartfelt appeal to all - please put yourself in their shoes before always sitting in judgement on fellow Hindus. Be kind, hopeful, positive and you will accomplish a lot more than with constant whining, negativity and vengefulness. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

@saffronnhoney @shalinispv It’s not exactly a storytelling workshop like “how to tell stories”. It’s more of “what can we learn about friendship from this story” Having said that, adults are welcome. There’s so much to learn from everything and we can use these insights to teach the children in our lives!

@hinduparenting @shalinispv Can parents and/ or grandparents take part in this workshop instead of children? Do you think this workshop can enable them to improve their story telling skills?

Online interactive workshop for kids to learn about friendships and the art of making friends from the Panchatantra! Workshop will be conducted by Hindu Parenting and will be taught by Dr. M. V.

#WomensDay reminder to Hindu parents to sit daughters down to talk about modern womanhood. Address current challenges. #WomenEmpowerment must include self-respect, fierce pride in thousands of years of their own Hindu lineage, not having to convert to new religions on marriage!!

@ashokiiit Very good point!!

Kids under 4yrs learn more easily when you recite to them ritually rather than pointing and reading through a book. Unfortunately, our surroundings often emphasize parents holding books (like in toy ads or stores), but the focus should really be on parents holding their children and reciting. Ofcourse as they grow book reading play major role, my point is, reciting never got much attention it deserves. Try it.

@hinduparenting @trivi143 Thank you @hinduparenting . For those interested here is the full movie youtu.be/pJTBu-TQz8o We would love to hear your comments :)

A great movie to watch with children- #CHIQUITA by @trivi143 Great interview too- interesting that the rigid and obnoxious son-in-law character is based on Indian evangelists! Indian converts are way more unpleasant towards Hindus than the originals. Watch & discuss with kids!
